The Inn — Restaurant in District of Canberra Central

A Must-Visit in Canberra The Inn at Edgar’s in Ainslie is an absolute must when in Canberra. My only possible complaint is there's almost too much food on the "Feed Me" menu—a classic first-world problem! After attending so often, we have started making our own selections from the a la carte menu to manage the portions that work for us. Every visit leaves me and my friends happy and satisfied, and I wholeheartedly recommend this place.

Culinary Delights Everything from the menu has been incredibly tasty and well-presented, and I am a huge fan of the seafood options. Although I must admit, I was disappointed when the lamb shoulder—my absolute favourite dish—was taken off the menu. That said, the Wagyu bavette is right up there for quality and taste. The meat is always so tender! A special shout out to Kierain Venue Manager, and Executive Chef Wayne and his talented team for the unforgettable lamb shoulder served on my dad's birthday—it was truly a highlight.

Ambiance and Service The ambiance is superb, with an upbeat yet not-too-noisy atmosphere. Kierain and the entire team, are always friendly and knowledgeable, offering great insights about the menu. The service is exceptional—the wait staff even know my drink order and have it ready upon arrival. Thanks, team!! They truly pay special attention to every detail, making each visit memorable.

Highlights Food Quality: Indescribably tasty food that caters to dietary requirements with a broad range of gluten-free options. Service: Exceptional service from all staff members. Beverages: A well-selected variety of reasonably priced wines and excellent cocktails. Ambiance: Great atmosphere with good acoustics.

Areas for Improvement The menu is consistently good, both in flavour and presentation and has been recently updated. Despite my comment about the lamb, it would be great to see this continue to keep things varied. Additionally, it would be fantastic to see more vegetable or vegetarian dishes to cater to a wider range of dietary preferences.

Extra Perks Don't miss the Wakefield Bar upstairs for a pre- or post-dinner cocktail. It is also a great alternative for more casual dining with cocktails, pizzas, or small eats.As an Ainslie resident, I can confidently say that The Inn and Wakefield’s Bar and Wine Room are the best of the best. Whether you are a local or just visiting Canberra, this place is...

A Culinary Masterpiece: Truffle Night at The Inn in Ainslie

Attending the "Truffle Night" event at The Inn in Ainslie was an experience that transcended ordinary dining. From the moment we walked in, we were enveloped in an ambiance that perfectly set the stage for what turned out to be an extraordinary culinary journey.

The food was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was a masterpiece, crafted with precision and infused with the rich, earthy essence of truffles. The flavors were so well-balanced and the textures so perfectly executed that every bite seemed to melt in our mouths. It was clear that the chefs had poured their heart and soul into creating a menu that not only highlighted the unique qualities of truffles but also celebrated the very essence of fine dining.

The service was impeccable, a seamless blend of professionalism and warmth. The staff were not only attentive but genuinely engaged, taking the time to listen to our preferences and make thoughtful recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. Their knowledge and passion for the food and wine were evident, and it added a personal touch that made us feel valued and well-cared for.

In every way, The Inn in Ainslie exceeded our expectations. The combination of extraordinary food, flawless service, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it a destination worth revisiting. For anyone looking to indulge in a truly memorable dining experience, I highly recommend making a reservation at The Inn. "Truffle Night" is a testament to their commitment to culinary excellence, and I can't wait to see what other gastronomic delights they...

If you're looking for steak The Inn has the best steak in Canberra, full stop. I've peeked into their kitchen and I've noticed they have the cool Argentinean style barbecue that's just perfect to make a good, mouth watering steak. See attached picture for steak.

Additionally, the rest of their food is outstanding. They change the menu often so alluding to a certain dish might be counterproductive. Every dish I've ordered has been outstanding. Their entrees are particularly nice, very oriented to the season with fresh ingredients.

Their drinks are also great, very good cocktails and beer selection. However, I think they shine better in the wine side, their selection comprises a solid range of price points and quality.

If you want to take someone out for a date, family is visiting, taking coworkers for dinner, or simply just wanting a good night of food please be sure to come to The Inn.

Plus, the staff is super ultra friendly and they'll remember you after a couple of times. The wife and I are regulars :)

I think I would say that $50-75 a person is a good price point for the quality of food you'll get. If you choose wine and larger steak this can go up, naturally. I am quite happy to pay here since food quality and taste correlate with the...
